Not Booming. But Building.

There Is no boom in San Antonio, and
yet there Ia an unwonted activity In
residence building. A gentleman from
Cincinnati, In recent drive over the
CITY, remarked that he was not out Of
sight OF building in process Of erection
from the time he started out until he
returned. There are, also, fewer houses
vacant than usual at this season Of the
year, and those having property for sale
find growing demand for eligible lots.
There Is considerable enquiry for sub
urban property, and more acres have
changed hands this spring than the real
estate transactions of years will show.
Northern capital is on the lookout for
Investments, and gentlemen who have
an eye TO business say, that after look
ing the state over, they have concluded
that San Antonio presents the best field
for profitable investment OF any city in
Texas. Houston is considered next to
San Antonio, by these parties, whose
names the LIGHT is not at liberty to d.
vulge, the best city In which to make
investments. Her closer proximity to
the gulf is her great advantage. but this
is fully compensated for by San Anto-
greater nearness TO the vast cattle
ranges of the west. san Antonio has
under way her city hall and the govern
ment building, both Of which will prove
a decided advantage to the city. A new
era dawns upon the old Alamo town,
and there is every indication that day
OF greater prosperity than che has yet
known lie about to be ushered in.

PRESBYTERIAN PROHIBITION.

The question OF prohibition has in
Vaded the sanctity Of the Presbyterian
church, and has become bone of con-
tentiUn In the General Assembly now
holding It's sessions In Omaha 1t seems
that some time since the Synod Of Penn
sylVania Officially encouraged pro-
hibitOry amendment to the state cOnsti-
tuition during a state canvass" The
minority of the Synod took exception to
this action of the majority, and the case
came up to the General Assembly upon
complaint OF Rev. Baird. The General
Assembly by II majority vote declares
that the Synodical act does not contra
yene the doctrine of the church, and
thinks that the matter should there rest.
The minority are otherwise minded,
aud ask that a date be set for trial OF the
whole question. Should such a
trial be entered upOA it will be
most interesting one in more
respects than one. Chiefly, in this-how
lar the action Of a majority of the synod,
in matter purely extrinslc, is binding
upon the action and conscience Of the
minority The settlement of this ques-
ton involves much beyond the mere case
presented. 1t will naturally settle the
right OF Presbyterian assemblies, synods
and presbyteries to enter the tabooed
domain of political action and make de-
liverances concerning the same. In the
precipitation of this question of prohi-
bition into the arena of politics, it will
be matter of no little concern how far SO
numerous and influential a religious
body as the Presbyterian church north
will elect TO involve itself In the politics
Of the question. The position of the
church on matters Of temperance, So
briefly and even total abstinence is well
defined. This by no means defines her
position on legal prohibition by politi-
cal action, and the deliversnce demand
ed OF the general assembly covers Just
this point.

A COSTLY LESSON.

Paris and the whole civilized world
have been taught fearful lesson In the
necessity of providing ample exits for
audiences In all public buildings, or
wherever large bodies of people as
semble. The burning of Theatre Com
ique, partial details Of which were re-
ceived IN yesterdays eabIegrams, shows
That even in the old world theatres,
with ali their scientific appliances and
modern improvements, no adequate
provision is made for the exit of an au-
dience in case Of emergency. The up
per tiers OF that opera house were lily
provided with means Of escape, and 1t
is feared that scores were caught In
that death trap and burned or suffoCated
10 death, OF this there was no real
necessity, as the fire originated on the
stage, was cut OFF from the audi
ence by the dropping of the
fire proof curtain, and left those
prevent ample time TO retire had not the
premature extinguishing Of the gas left
them no light by which TO grOpe their
way to the stair cases, before reaching
which the volumes of smoke blinded
them and bewildeEed them In the dark
ness. Some fifty bodies have already
been recovered and it is feared that
twice fifty more will be found in the
upper galleries. The loss in library COS
tunes and appliances is immense. The
Paris chambers voted, Immediately,
100000 francs for relief. 1t is conceded
that the exits we're entirely deficient,
and government, warned by this dis
aster will close other theatres until
similar defects In them are remedied.
1t is not known whether any Americans
lost their lives or not The great lesson
taught by this calamity is such govern
ment supervision of all places where
large crowds assemble, as will insure
ample provision for exit in case of emer-
gency.

Aprnhil,,tinn PREACHER.

A loud mouthed prohibition orator
on an Arkansas Pass train yesterday at
tracted the attention Of young gentle
man who imagined the advocate was
himself under spirituous Influence. The
gentleman left his seat, and taking one
by the side OF prohib, entered into con-
yersatiOn. In a few moments he felt
perceptible dampness on the side next
his companion, and looking down, saw
the mouth of a whisky bottle, from
which the cork had fallen, protruding
from the old mans pocket. "Hello. old
fellow, what does this mean?" said the
finder. 81 am carrying little home TO
my old woman who has the neuralgia"
stammered the prOhibirionist. There
was an audible smile. but prohibition
preaching ended for that trip.
